Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers release barrel aged Shiraz Gin from iconic '21 vintage
Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers’ has unveiled its latest masterpiece, a Barrel Aged Barossa Shiraz Gin, crafted from its 2021 Barossa Shiraz Gin that was judged ‘world’s best’ – with 99 points at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London.
The Barossa based distillery has released a Barrel Aged Barossa Shiraz Gin blend that’s spent more than 12 months in French Oak, resulting in a dark and moody gin that captures the essence of the Barossa and redefines the interpretation of ‘gin and juice.’
“After the global success of the ‘21 Barossa Shiraz Gin we knew we were on to something good”

“After the global success of the ‘21 Barossa Shiraz Gin we knew we were on to something good,” said owner, Jon Durdin.
“And with a family history in barrel making (Cooperage) spanning more than 130 years, it’s fair to say we can access some pretty special barrels.
“We selected a beautiful French Oak barrel and let it work its magic with our world winning Shiraz gin inside. Fast forward nearly two years, and we’re left with a gin that transcends boundaries and walks a line between gin and fortified wine.
“This release is living proof that great drops do get better with age”.
Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers has been producing Barossa Shiraz Gin since 2019, during which time they’ve developed a reputation for their signature Shiraz Gin, which is largely a result of their craftmanship, quality gin and access to premium Barossa grapes.
This special edition release is timely, coinciding with Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers fifth birthday. As part of the month-long birthday celebrations, and to celebrate the release of the Barrel Aged Barossa Shiraz Gin, they’re pulling out museum stock and offering up a new tasting experience for one week only.
“Our back-to-back-to-back Shiraz Gin flight includes 2020, 2021, 2022 vintages and the special release Barrel Aged, giving people a chance to compare the nuances from year to year,” said Jon.
